Koons and Attornoy Mitchell were at Bridgeport Tuesday to defend the charge recently made by a woman of that place against the doc tor, who was doing dental work for her and whom she alleged had mistreated her. The case was continued. The first reports concerning the occurenco seem to have been exaggerated and it now appears that the citizens of Bridge port do not take the matter very ser iously. Dr. Koons maintains that the object ol the charge was to extort money from him and if the case comes up again he proposes to fight it to the end, There may not bo poverty iu this ago of republican prosperity, but there are some people duccedly hard up in Al liance for all of that. As ovidenco of this we cito tho appearance of a boy who appeared at this office early Mon day morning looking for a chance to earn a few cents with which to add to his collection for tho purpose of buying a pair of shoes. He could not walk with much comfort or celerity for ho had on a pair of boots belonging to his older brother or father and thev were so large that the lad might have been able to crawl into one of the boots. Timidly he shied toward tho desk and asked if we didn't want someone to shovel off the snow on the office walk. He said his price would bo five cents for doing the work. When asked why he wanted a job at such an early hour and when the themometor indicated twenty-two below zero, the poor lad told his story of the desire for shoes. He shoveled off the snow. God pity the poor. rwwwwwwv. More Popular Than Ever. "A Millionaire Tramp," the offering at the Phelan opera house, Tuesday, Jan. ig. is distinctly a play of the west. The first act shows tho main street of a small farming town iu the plains of Indiana and the spirit and characters of the locality are cleverly portrayed throughout the piece. While comedy prevails throughout the four acts, the diamotic and heart interest of tho piece should not be left unmentioned. J. Pierpont, a man of reverses and outwardly unmindful of his present position in life appears iu the first act as "A Millionaire Tramp;" his stand ing in society ruined and all hopes of Hie shattered, but through his rough exterior appears a refined nature. Though comedy piedominatcs in his character, the reference to his past life often brings tears to the eyes of the mote pathetic, which are soon dispell ed by the antics of his more hilarious nature. The most laughable scene is with the colored porter aud the ghost. "A Millionaire Tramp" bids fair to be one of the strongest comedies that has been seen at the local playhouse for a long time. ,wwrwww-. Notes from Bridgeport (Prom the Nuws-Hlaue) Miss Mayme Hagerty returned Tues day morning from a ten days' visit in Denver. Michael Shay of Alliance was a business visitor in Bridgeport on Tues day. This was Mr. Shay's first visit to this city, and he spoke highly of the town and surrounding country. Lloyd C. Thomas, secretary of the Alliance Commercial club, was a busi ness visitor in Bridgeport on Tuesday. He reports u membership of 150 in the Alliance club and says the business men of our neighboring city are en thusiastic in promoting the usefulness of the new organization. Some misunderstanding exists as to the length of time the newly elected county officers shall serve. The county attorney will serve two years, or a full term, the law providing that the attorney shall be elected in the even numbered years. The county assessor will serve three years, or until January 1912, the law fixing the years in which assessors shall be elected to serve four years. All other officers will serva one year, including county commissioners. For Sale. Some full-blooded light cockerels at 81.75 each. Brahamas They are choice.

In fact, It looked us If the opening, to which Miss Klllott hud been looking MAXINE KIiIjIOTT AND IIEI1 NKW TJIEATEK. forward ns an event In her professional career, would be deferred. Au unsym pathetic person was Indiscreet enough to make a remark to that effect within hearing of the actress. She turned upon him with withering scorn and then Inquired If he really believed the work would not be finished in time. "The moir are working lllce benvers," alio said, "and I'm sure thoy will not disappoint me. I um too confident, hut somehow I feel that I shall play on that stage tomorrow night" Indicating tho new scene of her professional ef forts. t When she wont to dinner on the even ing of the first performance the stage wus In older, the orchestra uud bal cony fceatH were fastened mid the last pendant of 11 beautiful chandelier wan attuched. Outside several handy men wero clearing nway the debrld. Mnxlue Elliott's theater was rcudy for "The Chaperon." "I am the happiest woman In the world," she said quietly. "To own and manage my playhouse Is somethlug I have dreamed of these many years. It has been the ambition of my life. And now It Is realized." An Incident of tho evening was tho presence In a box of a former queen of the stage, Mrs. De Navarro, best known as Mary Anderson, JOHN M. MOREHEAD.

W h o 11 nominated Mr. Morehouso'B speech of acceptance was us follows: "Gentlo meu, you have done me a great honor, and 1 hope you will 3. U. ilOIIEIIEAD. not be disappointed In my defeat, for I haven't the slightest Idea of belug elected." When tho official count was taken it was found that Mr. Morehead had won by less than 450 votes. He Is now sorry he was persuaded Into run ning for office, Time by the Forelock. It was the morning of Dec. 26, and Brown was rushing down the street like an automobile trying to get away from a constable. "Why this speed?" demanded Jones. "Don't stop me. J must do my Christ mas shopping" "But you ure too late." "No; It Is Just tho right time. I am buying for next year." Alas, Too True, There lh no plco like home." "Yes. PXiept" 'What?"

The Pullman company will disburse about a quarter of a million dollars soon to car porters against whom no valid complaints were lodged in 1908, says the Omaha Examiner. The won der is that among employes who work for almost nothing and board them selves any were found against whom no complaints would lje. It will be gratifying to tho traveling public to know that the Pullman company, through its new-fangled merit system, thus relieves travelers of a quarter of a million dollars of the burden of sus taining the company's employes.
